I would not salvage anything out of that engine other than the carb and head!
Adam Drakes tune on this engine is:
.045 in from flush Hsn
.045 out from flush Lsn
.030 in from flush, idle screw
6mm restrictor
GRP 5 plug ( I run a GRP 4 plug)
2035 GRP pipe
The engine will run between 150 to 190 degrees(nitrotane,30%)
Good Luck
Are those measurements in inches from flush or something else?
